April 2004

April 1 April 2 April 3 April 4 April 5

  • Rain, warmth and sunshine bring out the vibrant greens of spring, looking across Cranborne from near the old castle mound
  • The warmer days make for pleasant walks, like here along one of the many drove roads near Badbury Rings
  • In woods throughout the county, fern fronds unfurl like uncoiling serpents amongst bluebells and other woodland plants
  • A relic from days past, a mobile lambing hut, abandoned in a field near Wimborne
  • The first of the spring crops tinge the chalky soil with green on Cranborne Chase near Pentridge
